Bright Security provides AI-powered application security testing solutions focused on Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST). The company's flagship platform, Bright STAR (Autonomous Security Testing and Remediation), combines dynamic testing with automated remediation capabilities to identify and fix vulnerabilities in web applications, APIs, and AI-based applications including GenAI and LLM implementations. The platform integrates directly into CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows, including IDEs like VS Code and IntelliJ, and source code management systems such as GitHub and GitLab. Bright STAR automatically generates security tests, detects exploitable vulnerabilities at the function and endpoint level, and provides code fixes that can be validated dynamically. The solution covers OWASP Top 10, API Top 10, and LLM Top 10 vulnerabilities. Key technical capabilities include AI-driven attack surface mapping, discovery of undocumented "shadow" APIs, function-level vulnerability detection, and automated pull request scanning. The platform validates that remediation fixes actually resolve vulnerabilities through dynamic testing, differentiating it from static analysis tools. Bright Security targets both development teams and AppSec professionals in enterprise environments, with integrations for ticketing systems like Jira and cloud security platforms including Microsoft Defender for Cloud. The company has been recognized by Gartner as a noted vendor for API Security Testing and named to Fortune Cyber 60 2025.
